CAR-HEATlNG DEVICES.


The Patent Office Expecting "a Fresh Install
ment of Inventions.
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
WAsHINGToN, JAM 9-Since the recent terri
BILE disaster on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad,
near Tiffn, o., the subject Of heating cars by
some other method than that now in vogue has
been the topic of great deal of discussion. At
the Patent Office, where inventors wont to
gather, this subject has been one of exceedingly
lively interest, and during the past three days
that portion of the Office which has charge of ap.
pliances for railway cars has been besieged by
throng eager tosecure all theinformation possible
on the subject of heating apparatus which has
thus far been patented. 1t is thought by the
officials of the department that within month
a food of applications will be filed for patents on
devices for heating trains by the exhaust steam
from the engine, by electricity, and by other
methods less dangerous than stoves There
have been a great many patents granted for de-
vices of this kind but for some reason they have
not met the general approval of the railway ueo-
pie, and the right thing for the time has not yet
been perfected, evidently. A gentleman
who is the purchasing agent for one of the
largest systems of railway in the country, who
| is IN Washington to day. said that the inventor
who perfects some system for car heating which
will do away with the danger of fire. is bound to
make fortune This gentleman believes that
every trunk line and nearly every other smaller
| road in the country would readily adopt such a
device and would pay for 1t literally but he says
| that everything that has yet been perfected Is
either too complicated for else entirely
inadequate for the purpose. A patent attorney
| who handles great many applications OF me-
! chanical appliances, says that he has filed not
| less than three caveats this week for inventors
/ Who think they have struck the right thing. He
/ estimates that there will be at least one hundred
claims for patents in this direction filed before
| the close of the current month.

A New Division Which Is Expected to Speed
lily Dispose of Delayed Land Cases.
Special to the ipd;anapNSs Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Within a few days the
new division of appeals for land cases will be in
operation at the Interior Department So many
appeals from the decisions of the officers at the
local land Offices are sent to the Department
now that the Secretary, his assistants, the Com
missioner of the Land Office and his assistants
are unable to hear and decide them, and they
have banked up deeper than cases before the
Supreme Court of the United States. 1t is
proposed in this new division to take
charge of all ordinary appeals and have
a corps of clerks who are lawyers to
assume full control, and their decisions shall be
those of the Secretary Of the Interior A chief
of this division has been selected, and Congress
has been asked to make provision for the law
clerks, but if it fails to co SO clerks from other
divisions will be assigned to this one the work
here will be of a technical character. and more
interesting in it's details than probably any other
small branch Of the government service. It Is
hoped that within a year from the date Of OPEN
ing this division the appeals which have been
delayed for years will all have been cleared up.
At present one is fortunate if he gets decision

ST LOUIS JAN 9-Adjutant general King, of

ture to make liberal appropriations and encour
age the militia, that it may be efficient mill
tary force in of necessity. He says "A we'll
equipped force is imperative because deep
seated and dangerous spirit of unrest peryades
every part of the land, and in many sections,
even our own, this discomfort has taken the
form of open lawlessness violence and blood
shed, and has assumed proportions, made claims
and asserted doctrines that threaten the very
existence of the States and Of the Union" He
then without specifically naming any particular
organization, gives scathing denunciation
which is clearly aimed at the Knights of Labor
and adds:
Under the mad and murderous teachings of
Communists and Socialists, these oath bound
organizations have had MANY strikes; have open
ly dehed the law; have beaten and abused, and
sometimes killed, people who only desired to
honestly earn a living have destroyed property
and murdered those whose duty it was to pro-
tect it; have violently interfered with the bust
ness of many States and caused losses to many
thousands Of people who were not responsible
for any of the alleged wrongs about which these

view OF those things in the past, or their active
existence at present, and of their probable con-

duty OF the several States of the general govern
ment and of the order loving, law abiding, pa

point where and when it is lawful and neces-

it is altogether too early to speculate to the
selections the President will make. but Con-
gressmen are comforting among themselves a.
to the probability, or even possibility, of tho
President finding the right sort of men to make
the proposed law success II seems to be gem
orally conceded that the law would be, if not
exactly dead letter. certainly q dead failure,
unless the President should be fortunate
enough to discover not only men of prom
inence and character, who have the ca
paclty to perform the duties required of the
commissioners under this law, but also men who
would command the respect and confidence OF
the people They say that the ideal man for the
place of commissioner would be a lawyer Of bus
mess experience, well informed in regard to the
details of railroad management. The trouble,
however. would be to find such man not al
ready committed in all his beliefs and ideas to
the peculiar theories and policies which the rail-
road management of the last ten or fifteen years
has developed. The appointment of any we'll
known railroad lawyer as commissioner would
be accepted at once evidence that the commits
sion had been put into the power Of the railroad
corporations.
Congressman, therefore. who hesitatng
as TO what course TO take when the bill comes up
for fina! action say they would like to be as
sured the President will not look in the ranks Of
the railroad lawyers to find the commissioners,
but, if he selects any one from the bar, will pick
men of unquestoned probity and sound common
sense, who have never had anything to do with
railroad business. The commission. they be-
lieve, might be made a great success with such .
man as COL William r. Morrison at its head,
and four others of his stamp to assist him ir
carrying out its provisions.

Fatally Manned by LyncherS.

LINCOLN, Neb:, Jan. 9-Last night mob
from S-9ckville went to the residence Of Henry
Pohre, few miles in the country, intending to
lynch him. He had made himself obnoxious as
a witness in what is known as contest case.
1t was also charged that he had attempted rape
upon woman living near his farm The mob
dragged Pohre from his residence to the nearest
tree. With rope about his neck and strong
arms ready to swing him up, Pohre continued to
protest his innocence of the alleged rape. A
hasty consultation was held, and the mob, in the
absence OF positive evidence, decided not to hang
him. Pohre, after being horribly maltreated,
was left under the tree in dying condition. A
doctor pronounces his recovery hopeless.
